Help me with this. I have a lex MC-8 outputting the sub line level (xover at 30) to the new SVS AES EQ1 then two Behringer ep2500 amps. These drive two custom 7cu ft ported LMS5400 18" subs.
The system is calibrated with a rat shack dB meter to 75dB all around, subs included. The subs' ground plane measured performance was just fine, and the AES EQ has them flat to 20 kHz, with 16kHz about 90% (prob can do some room placement to bring up the lowest frequencies). The plot looks just like the plot in the AES-EQ1 thread. However, when I crank it up, the subs just don't seem to perform.
Here's what I mean. I have the Matrix building lobby scene on at +5dB on the Lex, corresponding to about 102 dB on the meter. Just doesn't feel bassy enough. So I d/c'd all the amps exc the subs and measured again without touching the volume level--the subs are only putting out about 80 dB during this scene. Should I just crank up the input? Re-calibrate? How do I get truly deep bass?
My player is a Sony PS3, hooked up with an optical link. Might there be a setting that's wrong in there?
If helpful I can post the images.
